Sounds like a great, mature idea. Companies that as a cost of business have less affiliate fraud (which is RAMPANT and has been for years as a % of business) will have lower charge backs and long term a greater solvency.. in addition, the inherent ability to PAY OUT more. If there is a proper confidentiality agreement in place and an potential new affiliate is only asked to submit a limited view screen shot, there is no harm in this.

Unfortunately, the masses of webmasters who completely a) skate income taxes and b) feel a sense of entitlement for complete anonymity to their business *partners* is unusually high... coupled with c) laziness.

Best of luck to all-
